Taxis, hire cars and ridesharing

Commercial passenger vehicle services provide flexible, convenient options for people to get where they need to go in Victoria. They include taxi, hire car and rideshare services.

Victoria has led the nation in deregulating the taxi industry to embrace the rideshare economy and is now focused on how commercial passenger vehicle transport can support more choice in growing suburbs and regions.

The reforms to industry and the creation of Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria have led to reduced fares, shorter waiting times and more wheelchair accessible vehicles. Commercial passenger vehicle services in Victoria are regulated by Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria.

The number of registered taxi licences has almost doubled, while rideshare licences have grown ten-fold.

This has created a new market place that promises greater choice.
